New Halloween
Halloween Feast... Skeleton Dance Troupe?
Good grief, has this taken him back to a few months ago?
Although it was somewhat unbelievable, Kyle accepted the fact quite naturally, without even a significant change in his expression.
He's even seen people from a thousand years ago... Going back a few months is no big deal.
After saying goodbye to the two Ravenclaw second-year students, Kyle walked alone down a corridor on the right... the place where the first attack took place.
The students had all gone to the Great Hall; the corridors were deserted.
Kyle sat in a classroom, waiting while thoughtfully looking at the diary in his hand.
Now I finally understand why this thing disappeared without a trace.
He wasted so much time investigating the diary, only to find out it was still in his hands after all.
Kyle sighed softly. Gryffindor was right; time really shouldn't be touched. It's just too torturous.
However, he was curious: now that the diary was here, how would the first attack have happened...?
Time passed slowly, and Kyle hadn't heard cheers coming from the Great Hall for a long time.
This means the members of the Skeleton Dance Troupe have left, and the students have started eating. At this rate, the banquet will probably be over soon.
Kyle sat nervously in the room.
Just then, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind... Could it be that he was the one who carried out this first attack?
Because the diary is in his possession, which means that at this moment, only he can control the Basilisk.
"Could I really be the inheritor of the Chamber of Secrets...?" Kyle wondered to himself.
But just as he was hesitating about whether to go to the Chamber of Secrets, Filch's voice suddenly came from outside the corridor.
"... I've really had enough! Throwing balloons everywhere, drawing turtles on portraits, as if I don't have enough work to do!"
Here it comes...
Kyle hurriedly left the room and used the Disillusionment Charm to hide behind the stair railing.
Not far away, Filch walked over from the other side of the corridor, grumbling as he bent over and used a mop to clean up the water stains on the floor.
"Damn Peeves... No, I have to go find Dumbledore..."
Filch was increasingly aware that, at the original time, he had been attacked on the third floor.
Kyle didn't know if he was the successor who attacked Filch... and if so, what he should do.
Should we go to the Chamber of Secrets to summon the Basilisk?
But now Filch has already appeared, and could leave for another floor at any moment, so even if he wanted to go to the Chamber of Secrets, it would be too late...
"Bang!"
Just as Filch was less than two meters in front of Kyle, the door to the adjacent bathroom was suddenly kicked open from the inside.
A huge head popped out, followed by a long body...
"No fireworks allowed inside the castle..."
Hearing the noise, Filch instinctively looked up, "This time I'm definitely going to lock you up..."
"Close your eyes!" Kyle shouted.
The Basilisk was very obedient and immediately closed its eyes.
But it's no longer needed.
When the Basilisk out, it also brought a lot of water with it from the washroom.
In the instant Filch looked up, he caught a glimpse of a pair of bright yellow eyes reflected in the water.
"Thud..."
"Thump..."
The mop was on the floor, and there was also a small bucket with red paint spilled all over the floor.
Filch's voice stopped abruptly. He stood there, hunched over, motionless, just as Kyle had last seen him.
After Filch was petrified, it was as if some key switch had been flipped, and the gears began to slowly turn.
"... A crybaby... with a face full of acne..."
A Peeves, excited shout came from not far away.
Without a second thought, Kyle immediately ordered the Basilisk back into the Chamber of Secrets, then grabbed a mop stained with red paint and quickly wrote a few words on the wall.
The Chamber of Secrets has been opened.
Be wary of those who oppose your heir.
Kyle then threw down the mop and turned to run away.
Meanwhile, Peeves had already chased Moaning Myrtle to the third floor.
In the blink of an eye, the one person and the two ghosts bumped into each other.
Moaning Myrtle, because she was covering her face, didn't see Kyle and flew straight over, but Peeves stopped.
Peeves looked at Filch, who was standing motionless beside him, and at the words on the wall, and said excitedly, "You did this, didn't you, Kyle? What mischief are you up to now?"
"Hmm... this is a big plan..." Kyle asked, forcing a smile, "But can you keep it a secret for me, Peeves?"
"I'm not going to keep this a secret for Kyle the brat..." Peeves grinned. "I'm going to tell Professor Snape everything and watch you get locked up in solitary confinement!"
Five large bags of balloons!
Kyle, gradually calming down, didn't waste any words and simply held out his palm, "Plus a box of Dungbomb, a set of Fanged Frisbees..."
"Oh, I love your grand plan!"
Peeves laughed even harder, "Okay, okay... I didn't see anything today."
"So, deal?" Kyle smiled.
"Deal!" Peeves's eyes darted around, and it flew around him. "But I'm still missing one weapon, so I'll take this one for now."
Kyle suddenly felt his hand lighten; the diary he had been holding was snatched away.
Having obtained the diary, Peeves didn't give Kyle a chance to speak and immediately flew away laughing.
To make matters worse, Harry, Hermione, and Ron also came after Moaning Myrtle... and Mrs. Norris had just appeared on the stairs.
Kyle cursed inwardly. He was now a person outside of time and absolutely could not be like Harry back then, cornered here by Mrs. Norris.
With no other option, he had to give up chasing after Peeves and turned to run into the nearby restroom.
Moaning Myrtle has returned and is sitting on top of the sink, crying incessantly.
Kyle didn't disturb her. After glancing at the now-closed Chamber of Secrets, he quickly arranged the scattered "Exploding Textbook" on the floor according to their positions in his memory.
"He" will come to check on the situation soon, so he must restore the place to its original state now.
However, Kyle felt incredibly absurd while doing these things.
What is this... After painstakingly searching for clues for months, I finally discovered that the enemy was myself!
To be honest, this kind of experience would be incredibly shocking even in the Wizarding World, and to think that I actually got to experience it myself...
The sound of young wizards talking could be heard outside the door.
Kai looked at the "Exploding Textbook" that had been rearranged on the floor, and only after confirming that there were no problems did he leave the bathroom, casually tucking the feather he had taken off earlier back into the crack under the door.
